AFTER sTEWARTvs MILLIONS.
New Claimant Comes f'rcm Michi.
gan to Carry Off the Golfers.

DETROIT, Mich. April 2l.--John G.
Faux, a small, squarely built man in
the garb of farmer, left here today
for New York city to look up evidence
in support of his claim as an heir-at-
law to the estate of A. L. Stewart.
Faulk is resident of Byron township,
Sheawasse county. He traces his de-
cent from the Stewart family through
his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Nc
Herman, who. it is claimed, was niece
OF the dead millionaire.
Faulk says that in 1878 his grand
mother, than Margaret Massey, aged II
years, who had been left an orphan by
her fathers death in Belfast, Ireland,
went to live with her eldest brother,
William Massey, in the county of Ty-
rome. Young Alexander L. Stewart
took a fancy to little Margaret Massey,
and when he started to make his for
tune in tile new world he kidnapped
the child. who for several years there
after shared the frugal fare of the
young merchant in the scantily fur
nished apartment back of his sales
room. Margaret married an Irish Ca
tholic named McKierman, thus secur-
ing Stewards aversion. The couple
removed to Michigan and Mrs. Mckier-
man died in 1873 in her daughters
home. Faux is son of this daughter
who lett several other children. They
expect to share in the Stewart estate
if the claim is successfully prosecuted
by John.

GUILTY..
Schwartz and Watt Convicted of win.
full Murder.

NORRIS, Ills, April 21.--The pro-
tracted trial of the brakemen Henry
Schwartz and Newton Watt, for the
murder of express messenger kellogg
Nichols on a railway train a year ago
came to an end today, after having
been i'll court twenty-six days, Sundays
not included, during which time 1O6
witnesses were examined. The case
was given to the jury at 4 p. m, the
last speech for the prosecution occupy
ing the most Of the day, being five
hours in delivery. Instructions from
the court were quite numerous and re-
quired fifty minutes to read.
After being out five hours and ten
minutes, one hour being spent at sup
per, the jury were ready with their YER
dict. Before they had time to appear
before the judge the court room was
filled, many ladies being present. A
death like silence prevailed when the
judge, taking the verdict, read the
words pronouncing Watt and Schwartz
guilty of murder and sentencing them
to imprisonment in the penitentiary
for life. The verdict was received by
the prisoners without the least show
of surprise. They were quickly taken
to their cells and tomorrow their attor-
ney will enter a motion for new trial.
The motion will doubtless be over
ruled. Then notice will be given of
an appeal. and in all probability a stay
of proceedings and hearing in the
upper courts will follow.

Press reporter, concerning the move
ment of troops from Fort Sully to the
Winnebago and Grow Creek agencies,
that the agent had asked for military
under the old orders of a year ago and
the officer commanding had sent one
company. He pronounced the report
that settlers would be shot If they did
not leave, pure bosh. The troops left
week ago and he had heard nothing

Wind.

WHEELING, w. va, April 2l.-Ine
first genuine cyclone ever witnessed in
this immediate vicinity was experien-
ced this afternoon, and wrought desola-
tion over the section OF country extend
ing from st. Clairsville, Ohio, ten miles
west, to point as far east of this city.
Little damage was done here, high
hills on both sides of the river shelter
ing the houses, but the commotion in
the upper air was noticed and few
roofs were damaged. The storm first
struck st. Clairsviile demolishing two
new brick houses, belonging To Col
Patten and Judge Cochran. west OF
town, and d frame house belonging To
a man named Colenan; the large ma;l-
sion OH the corner Of Marntte and Main
streets wHs cut off clean at the second
floor, and the walls and roof scattered
in Fragments; the First National bank
block and G. Thrall & Sons dry goods
store were almost
Swept from Their Sites,
none of the lower walls being left
standing; benjamin Barkeha".st's fine
old brick mansion, south of town, was
totally demolished; likewise the United
Presbyterian church, a large brick edi-
flee. The loss i'll st. CI;,irsvii!e will
reach S200,GOO. Tie Western Union
wires and poles are all down. Horses
hitched IN the streets were blown
about like chatf, and vehicles were de-
molished; Il piece Of scan Ting sailed
through the air for Il mile and cut as
clean a hole in two walls OF brick
house as cannon bail would; shingles
We're driven through weather boarding
like arrows; Martins Ferry on the op-
posite side of the river, at the north
end of the town, suffered even more
severely than st. Giairsville. Here the
broad valley gave direction to the de-
stroying gale. which licked up the
forests and the farm houses and scat
tered fences in its path down the hol-
low, widening cut as it struck the
little city and scattering destruction
every where. The Elston glass works
had one brick building blown down
on the hill; the brick house OF j. II.
| brennan, editor Of the News, was so
Badly UseA Up
| that not one brick was lrit, Oh another.
T.. w. Bailey's fine concrete residence
was leveled to tile ground; Henry Hell
ling's eight houses. barns and sheds
were all destroyed. In the town proper
IS to 100 houses were mere or less dam
aged. and the loss will reach $165, ,00O
Walnut Grove, a fine park, has but a
few of the 800 lofty trees standing; the
city cemetery, adjoining, was similarly
unfortunate; stove foundry was par.
TALLY demolished; James Reilly's house
and saloon were blown down and Mrs
Reilly was pulled unconscious from the
ruins and may die; James Reilly, hel
husband, had both legs broken, an6
three other persons were seriously in
jured. The river for miles is strew1
with wreckage. Every few minutes
news comes of added damages in thu
country, and it is safe to say the ag
gregate loss will exceed 100000.
